the helplessness of asking for a hand to hold a cup while feeling like a burden

Pleased to Give You the Kingdom

The cup feels heavy tonight, and your hand shakes just holding it. You worry that asking someone to steady your grip makes you a weight they cannot carry.

But the light does not measure your worth by how steadily you hold on. There is a voice that says: do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

Pleased. Not burdened.

Not annoyed. Pleased to give.

The helplessness you feel is not a barrier to love; it is the very place where love arrives. You are not a problem to be solved.

You are a child to be held.
